Riley County dispatch officials said the storm siren activation that occurred just after 10 a.m. Wednesday was accidental and was believed to have been caused following testing of K-State’s emergency notification system.
Officials said there was no emergency reported.
Typically, the sirens are tested on the first Monday of each month, unless the first Monday is a holiday. Because of inclement weather on Sept. 8, county officials decided to push back the regular monthly testing one week.
It is now scheduled to take place Sept. 15.
